HORSE-POWER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 232,484, datedSeptember 21, 1880.

Application led August14, 1880. (Model.)

To all whom 'it may concern Be it known that I, WILLIAM W. GARLAND, ofHenderson Station, in the county of Madison and State of Tennessee, haveinvented a new and valuable Improvement in Horse- Powers; and I dohereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription of the construction and operation of the same, referencebeing had to the annexed drawings, makinga part of this specification,and to the letters and gures of reference marked thereon.

Figure 1 of the drawings is a representation of a `plan view of thisinvention. Fig. 2 is a central vertical section of the same. Figs. 3 and4 are details. Y

This invention has relation to horse-powers 5 and it consists in theconstruction and novel arrangement ofthe large drivewheel above thehorses, the diametrically-opposite rollers on which this wheel bears,having their journals in vertically-elongated bearings, thepulleyrollers under the bearing-rollers, andthe shaft parallel with thepulley-rollers and connected thereto by suitable helting, all ashereinafter shown and described.

In the accompanying drawings, the letter A designates the frame of thehorse-power, having a transverse beam, B, above, which is provided atits middle portion with a bearing, a, of suitable metal for the upperend of the spindle O of the main wheel D to work against.

- This main wheel is made of large size, its rim portion b being planeon its under side, and resting on the bearing-rollers E, which arearranged diainetrically opposite to each other, as shown in thedrawings. Each of these bearing-rollers is provided with a journal rodor shaft, c, which extends on each side into an elongated bearing-slot,d, arranged vertically in an abutment, F, of the fra-Ine. Below thebearing-roller is the pulley-roller G, which is provided at one end witha broad rollerbearing, e, upon which the bearing-roller E rests, and atthe other end with a pulley-bearing, f, to receive the belt g, whichextends to a pulley, h, on one end of the drive-shaft H.

The pulley-rollers G are journaled in the blocks or abutments F of theframe, below the slot-bearings d of thebearing-rollers, and the journal-bearin gs are made very strong, because the weight of the wheel D andof the bearingrollers E is supported thereby.

K represents the hub or body portion of the main driving-wheel D, to thelower portion of 5 5 `turns them, they moving the pulley-rollers below.

The transverse beam B is formed with end tenons, m, which are seated inelongated mortses n in the framing-uprights N, and wedges w, or otherkeys, may be used to keep the central bearing, a, in contact with theupper end of the spindle of the main wheel, so as to permit'unevenmotion.

Having described this invention, what l claim, and desire to secure byLetters Patent, 1s-

The horse-power having the over-beam B and its hearing a, the lowerblock, l, the slotbearings d'in abutments of the frame, thepulley-rollers G, journaled below, and the bearing-rollers E, journaledin said slot-hearings, and the main wheel D, resting by its oppositesides on said bearing-rollers, and having its upper spindle end inContact with the bearing a and its lower spindle end in the block l,substantially as specified.

In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my namein the presence of two witnesses.

WILLIAM W. GARLAND.
